The Minoza Brothers

Francis Minoza and Laurence Minoza are two brothers who make up the design team Nicebleed. Hailing from Cebu City Philippines, they started way back 2008 and never stopped creating since then. A wide variety of illustrations and visuals blanket the collaboration that contains flora and fauna, dark, macabre, graphic design to pop surrealism. Traditional, digital to mixed media contained their art.

They started working fulltime as freelancers in 2011, generating more prints and t-shirt designs. You might identify their art at tee shirt contest sites online like Threadless, Design By Humans and Shirtwoot, to name a few.
